ALLEN, Texas – Credit Union of Texas has launched a branded food truck called Community Grill that will be used for local events.
CUTX reported its Community Engagement team, who have recently received their required food safety certifications, will serve as cooks, cashiers and servers for the food truck. CUTX said it will partner with area school district culinary programs to develop a rotating menu of community favorites.
CUTX said the food truck idea was born from its entrepreneurial spirit and dedication to community service. It will be used to provide for educators, first responders, veterans, and several local charities, feed the suburban homeless population and further engage at community events, CUTX said.
Community Grill will make its debut at three upcoming events in support of Streetside Showers, a local nonprofit that provides mobile hot showers and personal hygiene care to the homeless population and others in need around the DFW Metroplex.
“Our board of directors inspires CUTX to be creative in finding ways to serve our communities beyond general sponsorships and campaigns,” said CUTX CEO Eric Pointer. “The Community Grill allows us to support various organizations and those in need with a one-of-a-kind experience. Our Community Engagement staff is excited to be part of this unique concept and is ready to serve.”
